Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a labeling kit for labeling a pharmaceutical container. The present application also relates to a pharmaceutical packaging unit. Background Art

[0002] Pharmaceutical containers such as vials, ampoules, cartridges or syringes require labels to identify their contents, for example, pharmaceutical solutions, which are usually applied to the outer circumferential surface of the container. Labels usually also have other functions; for example, the label should usually also indicate whether the container has been opened once or whether it has also been tampered with; such labels are then also used for authorization and authentication, i.e. as a certificate of authenticity or origin.

[0003] The surface available for labeling or other forms of marking is usually limited and small; there are completely different types of labels, such as multi-layer labels or booklet labels, in order to fit sufficient information on or at the container. However, usually, at least for pharmaceutical containers, single-layer labels are used, which are easier to handle and process.

[0004] Nevertheless, the search for other ways of increasing the label area remains a current problem, since it can never be excluded that there may be hitherto unconsidered solutions to overcome the lack of space on pharmaceutical containers, which are usually very small in size. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a hitherto novel solution for better positioning or attaching information and / or for marking pharmaceutical containers in another way.

[0006] This object is achieved by a marking kit according to the invention and by a pharmaceutical packaging unit according to the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 and 2 Two pharmaceutical containers 30 are shown by way of example, which are filled or can be filled with pharmaceutical liquids 40 and which need to be marked. In the sense of the present application, pharmaceutical containers 30 are all containers that can be used for the storage, transportation, extraction and / or administration of pharmaceutical liquids, wherein all liquids that can be used or to be studied in the field of pharmacy or medicine, including body fluids, serum, etc., can be understood as pharmaceutical liquids (including emulsions or other combined aggregated mixtures; for example, they have precipitates).

[0017] Pharmaceutical containers containing, for example, a drug solution to be administered are usually identified by a label attached to the surface of the container 30. The pharmaceutical container 30 usually comprises: a container body 31, which constitutes the main component of the container 30; and a removable container closure 32. The pharmaceutical container or at least its container body is usually symmetrical about the axial direction z, which is usually the axis of rotational symmetry of the container; the container body 31 then has a circumferential surface 30a surrounding the axial direction z. The circumferential surface of the pharmaceutical container 30 is in particular the circumferential surface 30a of the container belly 30b, which surrounds the air volume for filling with the pharmaceutical liquid 40.

[0018] Figure 1 As the pharmaceutical container 30, a vial is shown, and Figure 2A syringe with a Luer lock thread or one that is still to be provided is shown; for example a COC / COP syringe. In addition, however, any pharmaceutical container 30 can be equipped with the proposed identification kit and be identified with it; for example, ampoules, cartridges, vials, syringes or other containers with any interface, for example with a Luer lock interface or Luer lock thread, with a flip-top, with a needle shield or needle trap (Needle-Shield-bzw. Needle-Trap- ), or any other packaging form of pharmaceutical containers. In most cases, the container body 31 is usually configured as a circular body; however, this is not required.

[0019] Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the container closure 32 has an (outer) diameter d in the radial direction which is smaller than the (in these cases actually rotationally symmetrical) (outer) diameter D of the container 30 or container body 31. In particular, the diameter or radius of the container belly 30b is usually larger than the closure 32.

[0020] Conventionally, therefore, labeling is usually carried out by means of a label 20 which is adhered to the circumferential surface 30a of the container body 31 or its belly 30b or adhered thereto (all-around label). Sometimes multi-layer labels are used to increase the labeling area; in particular, booklet labels with multiple pages or multiple films are used. In any case, the size of the surface available for labeling and thus for container identification is related to the size and geometry of the container itself to be marked; the labelable area is usually preset by the circumference or diameter of the container body 31 or the container belly 30b and by the height of the container belly 30b or other fillable section of the container; the height is between 100 and 100 mm. Figure 1 and 2 In the other height region h2, in which the closure 32 is provided, the outer diameter d of the closure 32 is usually smaller; in some cases it is significantly smaller than the outer diameter D of the container body 31 or the container belly 30b, so that the placement of a label there is not considered, or is considered only in special cases or only in a small area section of the closure surface.

[0021] The present application provides a marking kit 1 by means of which such and other containers, in particular pharmaceutical containers 30 , can be marked, so that a pharmaceutical packaging unit 50 having an enlarged marking area is produced.

[0022] The term "marking" is understood to mean not only a printed or otherwise applied marking of text components or other information components that can be read by a person or a suitable scanning device (smartphone or other reading device, etc.), such as can be applied to the pharmaceutical container 30 by means of a label, in particular an adhesive label, but also electronic data, which can be stored in a transponder, in particular an RFID transponder, and can be read therefrom (if necessary, can also be written thereto later). The marking kit 1 thus also includes at least one RFID transponder, which is applied to the container in addition to the label or at least otherwise arranged at any position on or in the pharmaceutical packaging unit 50, which includes the pharmaceutical container 30 and the marking kit 1.

[0023] The marking set described with reference to the following figures allows for an improved, in particular space-saving and thus simpler marking of the pharmaceutical containers 30 .

[0024] Figure 3 An exemplary embodiment of the novel marking kit 1 provided according to the present application is schematically shown. The marking kit 1 comprises at least one container collar 10, a label 20 and an RFID transponder 5. The container collar 10 is designed as a three-dimensional molded part 100; it is preferably an injection molded part made of plastic. Preferably, the molded part 10; 100 or at least its circumferential wall 12 or its outer circumferential surface 10 is symmetrical about the axial direction z, in particular rotationally symmetrical.

[0025] The molded part 100 is provided to enable and / or simplify the labeling and / or electronic identification of the container at the level of or in the vicinity of the container closure 32. In most pharmaceutical containers 30, the container closure 32 has an outer diameter d which is smaller than the outer diameter D of the container belly 30b or the other part of the actual container body 31 surrounding the liquid volume 40. In pharmaceutical containers 30 molded in this way, it is not possible to apply a label from the outside around the closure; in particular, not around the container belly and the closure together, even if the transition between the container belly and the closure is to be bridged and the label is to run almost completely around the circumference in the bridged region.

[0026] When spanning a container neck whose diameter or radius narrows from D to d, labeling on top is at least not possible without wrinkles, i.e. the label is very easily damaged; this is not possible in particular when the label or other identification element is to completely or largely surround the circumference of the container.

[0027] In order to achieve a predetermined relative position relative to the container 30, the container collar 10 has a suitable inner contour 11, which is used, for example, for mechanical engagement or interlocking engagement with the container closure 32, with the container body 31 or with both, and the predetermined relative position is at least temporarily secured. The final fixing and / or positioning of the container collar 10 can also be achieved by applying the label 20 and / or the RFID transponder 5; preferably in the following way, that is, the label 20 of the identification kit 1 is attached around the container body 31 and the container collar 10 and their relative position to each other is permanently secured; in any case until the first use of the container 30 equipped with the identification kit 1 or until the first opening.

[0028] Figure 3 The main element of the three-dimensional molded part 100 or container collar 10 in the embodiment of the present invention is the circumferential wall 12 (preferably continuously around the axial direction z of the container collar 10), which also first attracts attention when observing the container connected thereto, for example when observing from the side. The radially outward circumferential surface 10a of the circumferential wall 12 can preferably, but not necessarily, be placed or supported on the upper end of the container body 31 or the container belly 30b; the circumferential surface 10a of the circumferential wall 12 is used to increase the identifiable circumferential surface of the container, in particular to extend the circumferential surface in the direction z and thus artificially increase the height dimension of the circumferential surface in the direction z. In this case, the circumferential wall 12 of the container collar 10 extends further in the direction z than the container closure 32 itself, on which the container 30 is placed in a predetermined relative position.

[0029] The corresponding container opening 10 is always a more or less rigid shaped part; in particular a solid shaped part, i.e. a shaped part which cannot be produced simply by bending, folding or other reshaping of a film, for example a plastic film. The solid design of the container opening 10 also prevents the container opening 10 from expanding at the lower edge and possibly over the circumferential surface 30a of the container body 31 due to unintentional pressure or impacts on the container opening 10 from above (in the direction of the container 30); on the other hand, the film used as the material of the container opening has only a low dimensional stability with respect to plastic deformations caused by external forces.

[0030] Figure 4 and Figure 5 Show Figure 3 The container sleeve 10 of the identification kit 1 in the embodiment of the present invention is now installed or at least placed on the container 30 or its closure 32 and / or its actual container body 31. To this end, Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of a container 30 filled with a pharmaceutical liquid 40 is shown, which has a container collar 10 mounted or at least positioned thereon or thereon, and Figure 5A side view of a fully packaged container 30 is shown, which has all three individual components of the identification kit 1 , namely the container collar 10 or the molded part 100 , the label 20 and the RFID transponder 5 , resulting in a finished, novel pharmaceutical packaging unit 50 . Figure 4 Thus, only the container opening 10 on the container 30 is shown in the cross-sectional view; Figure 5 The tag 20 and the RFID transponder 5 are shown together.

[0031] According to the container sleeve 10 proposed in the present application, for example, Figure 3 The form of the three-dimensional molded part 100 in Figure 1 The space problem is solved by using the container collar 10 as an example; the area that can be marked is artificially increased, in particular the area is extended in the axial direction z. To this end, the container collar 10 is placed, pressed, clamped, plugged, screwed or otherwise installed at the end of the container 30 on the closure side, or at least placed, placed on the container 30, or otherwise (pre) positioned only in a predetermined relative position to the container. Regardless of how the container collar 10 is installed or positioned on the container 30, the container body 31 and / or its closure 32, a suitable relative position of the container collar 10 relative to the container is produced, which is predetermined by the contour of the container collar 10. The relative position is determined by Figure 4 , in which the container 30 and the placed shaped part 100 or container collar 10 are shown in a cross-sectional view.

[0032] Since pharmaceutical containers 30 are usually standardized containers, which, for example, conform to European or international standard specifications, the dimensions of such containers are known in advance. The injection molded part or other molded part 100, which is defined as the container collar 10, can therefore be formed so that it interlocks with the surface area of ​​the container 30 in a form-fitting, flush or other suitable manner. Figure 3 and 4, the inner contour 11 of the container collar 10 is shown as an example, which is present at the bottom and inside and is directed inwards, for example in the form of a pin or other projection, which is used to engage the container closure 32 and / or the bulge surrounding the container opening or other external projections of the container body 31 from below. Such or other projections and the inner contour 11 can be generally optionally led to the area of ​​the closed side of the container in a specific azimuth section outside the circumference of the container, or alternatively arranged around the entire circumference azimuthally. On the contrary, the circumferential wall 12 and / or the outer circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10 preferably extends completely around the (smaller) circumference of the container closure 31 and / or the container neck in the azimuth direction and ultimately leads to an expansion of the radius or diameter d of the container closure 31 (and / or the container 30 at the height of the container closure 32) to the following radius or diameter D, which the container belly 30b or other sections of the actual container body 31 have below the container closure 32 at the height h1. At the height of the closure 31, the container collar 10 overcomes the radial step between the container closure 32 and the container body 31, which usually blocks labeling or other identification, and makes it possible to apply a label and / or any transponder (in particular an RFID transponder 5) to the enlarged, common outer surface 30a, 10a of the container 30 and the container collar 10.

[0033] The upper side of the container opening 10 pointing in the direction z can be closed or can also be open or partially open, for example provided with holes or other openings or recesses. In this regard, the container opening 10 or the (plastic) molded part provided as the container opening 10 does not necessarily have to be a (supplementary or additional) cover, but can also be a simple surface extension of the circumferential side, while in the area of ​​the head side or end side of the container packaged in this way, the marking is not necessarily simplified or can even be more difficult (depending on the geometry), which is however compensated by the huge benefit of the circumferential surface.

[0034] Another difference of the container opening 10 presented here with respect to a simply attached cover or with respect to any sleeve is that the proposed container opening 10 does not surround the container body 31 or at least its container belly 30b (or the wall section 30a surrounding the other liquid-fillable container volume in the azimuthal circumferential direction). Instead, the radially outwardly directed circumferential surface 10a has only the same diameter D as the outwardly directed circumferential surface 30a of the container body 31, so that its lower edge ends at the height of the upper edge of the circumferential surface 30a (formed according to the outer diameter D) or up to a few millimeters above it. In contrast to conventional (auxiliary) covers, the container collar 10 presented here or its azimuthally surrounding circumferential wall 12 is therefore not snapped onto the container body 31 or at least not snapped onto its container belly 30b or other outer wall section 30a, but is only placed or rested on or above the container belly 30b or other outer wall section 30a (if it is in contact with the container belly 30b anyway), without reaching a larger radius, diameter or other circumference there than the container belly 30b or other outer wall section 30a. This design allows for wrinkle-free marking by the tag 20 and / or RFID transponder 5, which makes it easier to achieve larger diameters than when determining a specific collar shell or closure cap for snapping onto. Therefore, the labelable and / or electronically identifiable marking surface of the container body 31 and / or the container belly 30b is not covered by the container collar 10, but is raised or extended on the closure side or in the axial direction z, without any disruptive overlap of the container collar 10 and the container belly 30b occurring in the axial and / or radial direction.

[0035] Otherwise, the container collar 10, its inner contour 11 and / or optionally its shaped elements or other shaped part sections are formed as a counterpart or negative mold (or otherwise engage in a form-fitting manner with the container neck and / or container closure 32 of the container 30). As a result, the container collar 10 can be placed, placed or placed, arranged or otherwise positioned in a predetermined relative position on a standard pharmaceutical container 30 that is usually to be marked.

[0036] On the contrary, when the container collar 10 is installed and / or positioned on the container 30 in a predetermined relative position, the circumferential wall 12 or the outer surface 10a of the container collar 10 extends in the axial direction z to a greater (especially axial) distance from the liquid 40 than a wall section of the container body 31 and / or the container closure 32 to be marked, and in particular also extends further in the direction z than the following wall sections of the container body 31 and the container closure 32, which wall sections can generally reach the pharmaceutical liquid in the filled state of the container 30 (for example when the container is stored in an upright position) or which wall sections (depending on the orientation of the container during transportation or in use) at least temporarily reach the pharmaceutical liquid 40.

[0037] The artificial raising of the marking surface, which is now composed of the two sub-surfaces 30a and 10a of the container body 31 and the container collar 10, unexpectedly provides an additional markable surface on the container 30; in particular, an additional markable surface in the area of ​​the container closure 32 (for example at the height or in the vicinity), where there is usually no ideal or in all respects feasible possibility for effective marking.

[0038] Figure 5 A schematic side view of a finished packaging unit 50 is shown, which comprises a container 30 and the components 5, 10, 20 of the identification kit 1 located thereon. The RFID transponder 5 can be glued, placed or pressed against the circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10, preferably at the level of the container collar 10 (for example, by means of the label 20 itself). The label is preferably glued to both circumferential surfaces 30a and 10a, i.e., to the container 30 and the container collar 10. In particular, the container collar 10 can be placed or fixed on the container 30 by means of the label 20.

[0039] The label 20 may in particular have a first label section 21 for pasting and / or placing on the circumferential surface 30a of the container body 31 and a second label section 22 for pasting and / or placing on the circumferential surface 10a of the container sleeve 10. A separation region 14 may be provided between the two label sections 21, 22, which is usually damaged or destroyed when or before the container 30 provided with the label kit 1 is opened. The separation region 14 may be, for example, only Figure 5 As schematically shown in the figure, it has one or more perforations 14a, punchings or other weak lines, tear strips 14b and / or any other weak structures, such as a film or membrane area with low tear strength (without figure mark), which, for example, surrounds the entire circumference of the container or a large part of the circumference in the azimuthal direction, more precisely at the height between two height sections h1 and h2.

[0040] exist Figure 5 In FIG. 4 , the label 20 is shown as opaque; however, it is preferably transparent and allows the drug solution or other pharmaceutical liquid 40 in the container volume of the container 30 to be seen.

[0041] exist Figure 5In the embodiment shown, the RFID transponder 5 is shown above and outside the label surface 20 and is applied in particular to the circumferential surface 10a of the container set 10 which is artificially extended in the direction z. However, the transponder 5 can also be integrated into the label 20 or arranged on the back of the label (i.e. in the radial direction between the label 20 and the container body 31 and / or the outwardly pointing circumferential surface 30a and / or the circumferential surface 10a of the container set 10). After the conventional first opening or separation of the label 20 (and / or possibly also the RFID transponder 5), the container sleeve 10 together with the container closure 32 can be separated from the container body 31; alternatively, the container sleeve 10 can also be separated from the closure 32 alone or from the container 30 as a whole before the closure 32 is opened, i.e. separated from the container body 31 or at least detached or released. As long as the label 20 and / or the RFID transponder 5 is not yet damaged, they are suitable for fastening the container sleeve 10 to the container 30 or, however, as a first-time opening proof element to indicate at least the first opening or other tampering of the packaged container 50 .

[0042] With regard to the following transponder 5, which can be used, for example, for electronic identification of a container 30, its contents 40 and / or for storing other data relating to pharmaceutical liquids, their use and / or other medical applications, the following embodiments are considered in particular:

[0043] With regard to the positioning of the RFID transponder 5, it is proposed, for example, that the RFID transponder is glued, placed or otherwise applied to the circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10 and / or to the circumferential surface 30a of the container 30. For example, the transponder 5 can be glued to the back of the label and glued or provided together with the label 20 to the enlarged circumferential surface 30a, 10a. Preferably, the RFID transponder 5 is glued or otherwise applied only in the region of the circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10, so that the transponder does not cover the surface area of ​​the actual container wall 30a, in particular the surface area of ​​the container belly 30b, where it could hinder the viewing of the pharmaceutical liquid (for example, in order to determine its amount or its state, etc.).

[0044] The RFID transponder 5 can be in particular a UHF-RFID transponder 5, for example for one or more standard communication frequencies in the range between 860 MHz and 960 MHz. The embodiment described has the advantage that the UHF-RFID transponder 5 can be detected or read at a relatively large effective range of up to 3 meters, possibly up to 10 meters, while conventional HF-RFID transponders or NFC-RFID transponders (near field communication) can only be read at a few centimeters; for example by a smartphone or a special reading device. When using UHF-RFID transponders, however, in the future all transponders in a specific building section, cabinet or other storage area can be detected simultaneously; complex individual detection will be superfluous in the future.

[0045] Figure 6 and Figure 7 Two further exemplary embodiments are shown with regard to the number and design of transponders for identifying a set 1 or a container 30 identified therewith. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In each case, a plurality of feature options are shown in combination with one another, which can however also be realized individually rather than being combined with one another in the manner described. Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each of the packaging units 50 is shown in a side view, which corresponds to Figure 5 Side view of the .

[0046] Therefore, the identification kit 1 may include a first RFID transponder 5a and a second RFID transponder 5b, wherein at least the first RFID transponder 5a is a UHF-RFID transponder 8, which can be determined to be pasted and / or positioned in a height segment h2 offset from the container contents 40 along the axial direction z, i.e., where the circumferential wall portion 12 or the circumferential surface 10a of the container sleeve 10 carries or supports the UHF-RFID transponder 5; 5a; 8 at a larger distance from the container contents 40.

[0047] The second RFID transponder 5 b can be a conventional NFC or HF-RFID transponder 9 ; it can be optionally positioned on the container wall 30 a or also positioned on the higher container collar wall 10 a .

[0048] For the use of UHF-RFID transponders 5; 8, positioning on the higher container collar surface 10a provides the following advantages: due to the larger distance from the container contents 40, the adverse effects of the pharmaceutical liquid 40 on the performance, especially the readability (especially due to the absorption of electromagnetic radiation when communicating with the transponder) are significantly reduced; the UHF transponder 8 and its detection can be reliably read and / or detected in this transponder position, i.e. when it is arranged on the circumferential surface 10a, or at least (from the outside or also from the inside) when it is arranged on the circumferential wall 12 of the container collar 10.

[0049] Like every RFID transponder 5, this UHF-RFID transponder 8 also has a transponder chip 6 and a transponder antenna 7 (see Figure 5 ).

[0050] With regard to the additional individual features which can be variably configured, on the one hand the label 20 is Figure 6 is opaque, and according to Figure 7is transparent. In both figures, the position or height position of the label 20 and / or at least one transponder 5 along the direction z (see above) includes and / or covers the transition between h1 and h2, i.e. the axial position between the annular contact surface of the upper rounded portion of the container belly 30b and the lower edge of the circumferential wall 12 of the container sleeve 10 lying on it (or holding its position about 1 mm above it). At the same height (approximately or exactly) there is also a separation area 14 (of the label 20 and / or the transponder 5), along which the label 20 can be divided at least into its lower first label section 21 and its upper second label section 22. The separation area 14 can be or include a perforation 14a, a punch hole or other weak line or a plurality of them; for example in the form of a tear strip 14b (with or without a gripping tongue), or alternatively any other weak structure, such as a film or membrane area with low tear strength (not shown). The separation area 14 of the label 20, which is preferably circumferential in the azimuth, can be marked in color or black by printing (for example, recognizable as a theoretical tear line); for the sake of clarity, these and other details that can only be achieved by printing the label surface, transponder surface and / or sleeve surface are not specifically shown in the drawings of the present application.

[0051] Furthermore, the height of the label 20 or the first label section 21 and the second label section 22 extends from Figure 6 and 7 There are (different) changes in it.

[0052] The two figures have in common that they each have two transponders, in particular RFID transponders 5, namely 5a and 5b (in Figure 7 Insofar as the conductor path of the transponder antenna 7 is depicted in the present application, this diagram is schematically simplified so that it should be understood that there are no restrictions with regard to the type of corresponding transponder, antenna shape, antenna path, frequency range or any other properties. The same applies to the positioning and dimensions of the transponder chip 6 and its connection to the transponder antenna 7.

[0053] Figure 6 and 7 Another difference between the embodiments of Figure 7 The two RFID transponders 5a and 5b are arranged in a surface area of ​​the second label section 22, which is designed to be glued (or at least placed, pressed or otherwise placed or positioned) on the circumferential surface 10a of the container sleeve 10. Figure 6 The second transponder 5 b of the two RFID transponders is located in the surface area of ​​the first label section 21 , which is intended to be glued (or at least applied, pressed or otherwise applied and positioned) to the circumferential surface 30 a of the container 30 .

[0054] In all embodiments in which the surface area of ​​any transponder 5 overlaps the surface area of ​​the label (e.g. 21; 22), it can be provided that the transponder is glued or placed or arranged on the back side of the label. The label and the transponder are preferably placed and / or glued to the corresponding outer sides 30a and / or 10a of the container 30 and / or the container collar 10. For example, the back side of the label is adhesive and adheres locally to the transponder 5; and outside of it is glued to the outer sides 30a and / or 10a of the label. The label 20 is preferably a film label, in particular a single-layer film label.

[0055] In accordance with Figure 6 In the embodiment, as already mentioned, the first RFID transponder 5a can in particular be a UHF-RFID transponder 8, while the second RFID transponder 5b placed at the height of the container 30 or the container belly 30b is optionally a HF-RFID transponder 9 (for NFC communication; as shown) or another UHF-RFID transponder.

[0056] In the latter case, the second UHF-RFID transponder 5b can also be positioned on the container surface 30a (covered by the label 20 or its lower section 21 extending further downward, or also adhered to the container 30 without being covered by the label). Figure 6 For example, the first RFID transponder 5b (which is then located near the initial upper liquid level) is suitable for liquid level monitoring. Figure 6 , with reference numeral 8 in the figure; and not with "9" as shown) is a (further) UHF-RFID transponder, the positioning of which can be deliberately selected to be below the filling height or liquid level of the pharmaceutical liquid 40, so that communication with the UHF-RFID transponder 5b is only possible when the container 30 is empty and the pharmaceutical liquid 40 is (almost) used up. As long as there is still enough liquid contained in the container 30 at the height of the container bottom or at the height of the second UHF-RFID transponder 5b, the liquid absorbs the UHF communication signal of the UHF-RFID transponder 5b or at least significantly weakens the strength of the UHF communication signal; the transponder 5b is then not detected. This applies if the liquid level is high enough; not only for containers 30 that have not yet been opened, but also for containers 30 that have already been opened for the first time or multiple times, as long as a sufficient volume of liquid 40 has not yet been extracted or consumed in another way. When the liquid level drops to the height of the transponder 5b or slightly below it (at the height of the transponder 5b, respectively, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 ), the transponder 5b provides an undisturbed signal indicating that the container 30 is empty or nearly empty.

[0057] In the unopened state of a container 30 marked with an identification kit 1, i.e. sealed by a label 20 and / or a transponder 5, only the first transponder 5a - optionally a UHF-RFID transponder 8 as shown, or alternatively an HF-RFID transponder (not shown) - provides a signal; even if the first transponder 5a is a UHF-RFID transponder 8, communication with it will not be disturbed because it is at the height of the container sleeve 10, i.e. in any case above the liquid surface and thus separated from the liquid. Since the circumferential wall portion 12 and the circumferential surface 10a on its outer side are in any case separated from the inner volume along the axial direction z (the axial direction in this application always refers to the axial direction z of the container sleeve 10 and once the container sleeve is installed or positioned on the container 30, it also refers to the axial direction of the container 30, which does not necessarily correspond to an upright or vertical direction opposite to gravity), the inner volume can be filled with liquid 40 to a greater or lesser extent, so in any case a spacing or interval between the transponder (here: 5a) and / or the label provided therewith, which is pasted or otherwise applied to the second label section 22, and any other section is formed. For the (first) UHF-RFID transponder 5a; 8, this means that, regardless of the orientation of the container (e.g. upside down), the liquid 40 will not interfere with the communication with the UHF-RFID transponder 5a; 8 under any circumstances, because the UHF-RFID transponder does not rest against the wall of the fillable inner volume of the container 30, but rather against a wall of the container sleeve 10 that is axially spaced apart from it, that protrudes from it, is separated from it, or another wall.

[0058] In the original, new state of the marked container 30; 50, the still detectable communication signal of the UHF-RFID transponder 5a; 8 (provided it is positioned at the height of the container collar 10) first indicates this unopened, untampered and authorized new state of the marked container 30 or 50 (by corresponding measurements, i.e. electronic excitation and reading via radio). If such a transponder additionally has an (additional) antenna, a wire loop or other wire path, which is usually forcibly destroyed or broken when the packaged container 30 or 50 is opened for the first time (for example by tearing or tearing off at the height of the separation area; see below), then the disappearance of the response signal of the transponder 5a indicates that the container is no longer in the original state, i.e. the container was either opened in an authorized manner for the first administration or emptying, or was tampered with in an unauthorized manner. Only when the container is largely emptied can the signal be measured again, but the signal comes from the second UHF-RFID transponder 5b; 8 at the bottom (relative to the Figure 6 ), which means that there is no longer enough liquid to interfere with or prevent communication with the UHF-RFID transponder 5b; 8 through absorption.

[0059] However, otherwise Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1—independently of the filling level—the lower second RFID transponder 5 b can also be an HF-RFID transponder 9 which is intended, for example, to be read out by means of a smartphone or a reader device.

[0060] In principle, as long as only a single transponder (or one of multiple transponders) is provided in any embodiment of the present application, the transponder can optionally be an HF-RFID transponder or a (possibly more susceptible to interference, but suitable for a larger range) UHF-RFID transponder.

[0061] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present invention, the two corresponding transponders 5a, 5b can each optionally be a UHF-RFID transponder 8 (as shown) or a HF-RFID transponder.

[0062] Reference Figure 6 and 7 Another feature of the invention, which can also be varied alone (rather than in combination with other features shown in these figures) as described above, is that according to Figure 6 Label 20 is the upper wrap label ( ), which completely surrounds the container 30 and the container sleeve 10; however, observation of the separation area 14 shows how high the belly of the container 30 is reached. Figure 7 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the label 20 surrounds the circumference of the container 30 and the container collar 10 to a large extent, but not completely.

[0063] Of course, labels covering a much smaller section of the circumference of the container 30 and / or the container collar 10 are also conceivable. For example, even if the marking area on the container 30 itself is actually large enough, the packaging unit 50 proposed here can still be provided with the aid of the identification kit 1, for example in order to operate the UHF-RFID transponder at a greater distance from the container contents 40 and thus without being affected by the container contents; in the case of UHF transponders, this is usually not reliably possible directly on the container wall, on the back side or inside of which water or other liquids, which are usually water-containing, are contained.

[0064] Figure 8 By way of example, an RFID transponder 5 is shown which additionally has a measuring line 4, namely a separate indicator line 4, which is provided in addition to the RFID antenna 7 and is connected to the RFID chip 6 (e.g. via a further chip or bonding contacts, as indicated). The chip can check or determine by electrical measurements (e.g. electrical measurements of the resistance or conductance of the measuring line 4 or by capacitance measurements) whether the separate measuring line 4 is interrupted.

[0065] exist Figure 8In the embodiment of the present invention, the RFID transponder 5 is connected to a label 20, which is designed to be adhered or at least attached to the circumferential surface 30b of the pharmaceutical container 30 and the circumferential surface 10b of the container collar 10; again by means of the first label section 21 or the second label section 22. The separation area 14 extends between the first label section or the second label section, and as explained above, the separation area can be formed in the form of one or more perforations (preferably with a tear strip between two of them), a punching line or other weak line, or in the form of an area with reduced tear strength.

[0066] The separation measuring line 4 is guided so that it crosses the separation area 14 (approximately a narrow line or strip between the two label sections 21, 22) once, twice or more times (as shown in the figure). When the separation area 14 is torn, that is, when the two label sections 21, 22 are separated from each other, the separation measuring line 4 is destroyed or at least interrupted; the interruption can be measured electrically and read via the RFID transponder 5 or its chip 6. The electrical reading of the state of the measuring line 4 thus indicates whether the container 30 equipped with the identification kit 1, that is, the finished packaging unit 50, has been opened once and / or has been tampered with or damaged during an attempt to open it.

[0067] Of course, this requires first of all Figure 8 The transponder 5 and the label 20 are arranged on the container 30 and the container sleeve 10, as in Fig. 9 , and similarly to some of the previous figures. Fig. 9 The simpler case is shown, namely that the measuring line 4 has only two intersection points at which it crosses the separation region 14. Figure 8 The design of the measuring path 4 is suitable for checking the (local) integrity of a separation region 14 formed as a theoretical tear line or theoretical rupture point in a circumferential section of the container 30 and the container collar 10 at a larger azimuth angle. The separation region 14 is expediently always located exactly or at least approximately at the height of the transition or contact surface between the (outer) container circumference, i.e. the upper edge of the circumferential surface 30a of the container 30 and the circumferential wall 12 or the circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10, i.e. at the transition between the height sections h1 and h2.

[0068] Figure 8 and 9 The measuring line 4 in the figure can also be configured as an open measuring line or a conductor path instead of a closed conductor loop, for example as another antenna with any direction; for example for another measuring frequency. In addition, the antenna 7 in this figure or other figures or other embodiments can also be used as a measuring line 4 at the same time; in this case, no additional measuring line 4 is required.

[0069] All features described so far can be combined individually and in combination with one another with any desired embodiments of the other figures and description components; the selection of the feature combinations selected above is in this respect merely an example.

[0070] The use of the container collar 10 proposed here increases the readability of RFID tags on liquid-filled primary containers (e.g. vials, cartridges, syringes, ampoules, etc.); in particular, UHF-RFID tags, whose performance and / or readability are often impaired in the direct vicinity of certain liquids 40, can be reliably read due to the increased distance from the liquid 40 achieved by the container collar 10. In transparent pharmaceutical primary containers, such as syringes, vials, free observation of the container contents is furthermore no longer made more difficult by the design of the RFID tag or RFID transponder, which usually includes an opaque structure, because the transponder can now be applied away from the container surface, i.e. on the container collar; it is therefore easier to visually evaluate the drug in the container.

[0071] The pharmaceutical container 30 provided with the proposed identification kit 1, i.e. the pharmaceutical packaging unit 50 thus formed, can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively due to a highly automated production sequence with only a few additional process steps. Not only can the product component as a first opening proof be incorporated into production without any problems, but the option of a digital first opening proof for the identification of tampering interventions ("tampering") is also easy and can be realized without any disadvantageous additional work in production; in particular with the aid of the measuring circuit 4.

[0072] Furthermore, the labeling surface that can be labeled or electronically marked is significantly increased without the need for a protruding flag as a removable marking part to be provided on the label 20, which could cause obstructions, be damaged or destroyed during the rotary printing process, or could have a negative effect on further processing or production. An RFID tag (RFID transponder) that is applied or positioned on the container collar 10, for example on its circumferential surface 10a or other surface areas of the circumferential wall 12 or another surface section of the container collar 10, also remains permanently attached there and is not subject to the risk of accidental damage or tearing during further production or packaging or during transport.

[0073] The additional surface for accommodating the label 20 and / or the transponder 5, which is realized by the container collar 10, also makes it possible to dimension the transponder (in particular its antenna) sufficiently and large in order to achieve more reliable communication via radio; unlike the individual pharmaceutical containers themselves, which have to deal with their own surface as a labeling surface, it is no longer necessary to design the transponder smaller than is actually desired. In addition, UHF-RFID tags can also be used, which have a standard configuration or size and at the same time achieve significantly higher performance than in the case of conventional practical application directly on the container body 31.

[0074] Therefore, each arbitrary pharmaceutical primary container 30 can be provided with an additional shell, cover, sleeve sleeve of a suitable shape or other configuration of a container sleeve with an additional marking surface 10a; 12, and can be raised in the axial direction because the container sleeve 10 used as an extension or continuation can be stably placed on the container body 31 or the container belly 30b.

[0075] A stable and secure mounting of the container collar 10 on the container 30 itself - on the container closure 32, on the container body 31 (in particular on the container neck immediately below the closure 32) or on both - can also be achieved, for example, by form fit, alternatively or additionally, by locking (for example by means of hooks or other suitable projections). The container collar 10 proposed according to the present application can also be easily mounted on commercially available vial flip caps, Luer lock closures or needle shield collars, etc.

[0076] The additional identification surface 10a flush with or at least aligned with the container circumferential surface 30a continues or extends the actual container circumferential surface 30a without generating large steps or edges between them, which would make safe handling difficult or endangered. The cover, cover sleeve or container cover 10 formed in another way is flush with the bottle body 30; 31, thereby generating a uniform round body; the container 30 and the cover 10 can be labeled simply and without interference, especially without wrinkles and steps, by means of standardly applied automated label distribution programs, processes and facilities. In the region of the transition section or gap between the container belly 30b and the container cover 10, for example annular, the container cover 10 can be easily and effortlessly removed at any time by means of the opening strip 14b or the perforation 14a, the punching or other embodiments of the separation area 14. This also helps to optionally use the container cover 30 as a first opening indicator.

[0077] The container sleeve 10 is an extension which is connected to the identifiable surface 30a in a virtually seamless manner; the container sleeve can be easily removed from the container 30 again. Due to its stable placement or fixation in a predetermined relative position on the container, there is no fear that the handling and automatic application or dispensing of the label 20 and / or transponder 5 onto the container 30 and the container sleeve 10 will cause interference with the process steps of printing and dispensing the label and / or transponder.

[0078] The RFID transponder 5 can be integrated into a label segment or surface area of ​​the tag 20 or the label, which is arranged at a large distance from the liquid volume 40 contained or can be contained in the container 30 in both the radial direction and the axial direction z in such a way that it is placed on the container collar 10 (configured as a cover or other extension part).

[0079] The label 20 is also used for visual identification and recognition of the container or storage container; the conventional labeling process of the container and the fixing or positioning of the lid 30, as well as the provision of a suitable mechanism for first opening proof and the placement of the RFID transponder 5 (in an easily readable position and with the required transponder size) can all be realized in one process step or at least in one process flow. In addition, a practical method for realizing a reliable first opening proof by means of a transponder is provided to the person skilled in the art by means of the container collar. A relatively good, in particular space-saving and non-intrusive realization of a "tamper evidence" solution by means of an RFID transponder is not known to date.

[0080] The container collar 10 intentionally heightens the outer contour of the container at its circumference, on the one hand, beyond the height of its container belly 30b, and optionally also beyond the overall height of the container 30, for example even beyond the container closure 32. For example, the axial extension or size of the container collar 10 can be two or three times the axial size, i.e. the height size, of the container closure 32. A relatively significant heightening of the height of the packaging unit 50 or the labeling surface 30a, 10b beyond the height of the individual containers 30 has not been achieved so far with conventional containers.

[0081] The container sleeve 10 used as an axial extension or axial protrusion has the same radius or diameter D as the belly 30b of the body 30 on the outside, i.e. in the radial direction (and the same circumference in the circumferential direction); the extension 10 with the same transverse dimension is arranged on the outside or in an annular manner; 100 is preferably closely adjacent to the transition between the container neck and the marking surface 30a (i.e. between h1 and h2).

[0082] The sleeve 10 used as an auxiliary closure can be securely and stably mounted on the main closure 32, for example, by form fit, engagement and / or locking with the container neck and / or the container closure.

[0083] Even if the container is oriented flat or twisted in another way, the contained container liquid 40 cannot reach the transponder 5 placed or attached to the container collar 10 , so that the communication or readability of the transponder 5 is no longer disturbed or endangered.

[0084] Of course, the outer wall 12 or the outer circumferential surface 10a of the container collar 10 can also have air gaps or other recesses or depressions, both in the axial direction z and radially outward. Due to the preferably circular or cylindrical shape of the container and / or collar circumference, the circumferential surface 10a forms a stable support surface, even if radial pressure is applied to the tag 20 and / or the transponder 5 from the outside, for example due to impacts or gripping.

[0085] Finally, a sufficiently large raised, ie markable, circumferential surface provides sufficient space for a larger design of antennas, perforations or tear strips etc. by means of an axial extension of the container collar 10, which makes the handling more user-friendly.

[0086] An optional measuring line 4 (for example, in the form of an additional sensor wire loop, wire path or other sensor printed wire) can extend at least in sections into the lower first label part 21 for application to the container body 31, thereby being guided between the two label sections 21, 22 through the perforation 14a or the tear strip 14b.

[0087] If two transponders 5a, 5b are provided in, on or below the label 20, of which preferably one is positioned on the circumferential surface 30a of the container 30 after labeling and the other is positioned, for example, on the collar cover 10, then in the filled container state only the transponder 5a placed on the container collar 10 is readable, while in the empty state preferably only the lower transponder 5b is readable or detectable via RFID, even when the contents are almost emptied or a critical liquid level has been reached (see above).

[0088] In the case of using (at least also) a combined UHF-NFC transponder, which can communicate or at least be read via UHF frequencies and HF frequencies (e.g. at 13.56 MHz), the combined transponder can also be located directly on the surface or circumferential surface 30a of the container body 30 due to its additional HF or NFC readability; for example, in order to enable reading by means of a smartphone or a reading device; for example for a reservation process. In contrast, a stock check of a large number of packaging units 50 can be carried out more reliably and more efficiently by means of UHF frequencies.

[0089] Otherwise, the tear strip 14 b or other separation region 14 is designed in such a way that the inlay of the label 20 (which may in particular include one or more transponders 5 ; 5 a , 5 b ) is damaged or destroyed, so that reading is no longer possible after the initial opening.

[0090] Furthermore - depending on the type and geometry of the pharmaceutical container 30 - the container collar 10 of the marking kit 1 can also be two-piece or one-piece, but can be divided into two parts. Figure 2 In the case of a container mouth of a syringe, the container mouth may have a lower mouth section, an upper mouth section and a mouth separation area between the two mouth sections in the axial direction, so that when the pharmaceutical container 30 provided with the container mouth 10 is opened, for example, the mouth separation area of ​​the container mouth 10 is separated and the upper mouth section together with the container mouth 10 is separated from the lower mouth section and the container body 30.

[0091] Furthermore, it can be proposed that the container collar 10 is constructed in two parts or in one part, but can be divided into two parts, and the container collar 10 has a lower collar section, an upper collar section and a collar separation area between the two collar sections along the axial direction z, so that when the pharmaceutical container 30 provided with the container collar 10 is opened, the collar separation area of ​​the container collar 10 is separated and the upper collar section together with the container collar 10 is separated from the lower collar section and the container body 30.

[0092] Furthermore, it can be provided that the collar separation region is arranged at a position on the container collar 10 which corresponds to the position of the transition between the container body 31 and the container closure 32 of the container 30 when the container collar 10 is arranged in the predetermined position on the container 30 to be marked.

[0093] Furthermore, the container opening 10 may have a notch penetrating the wall of the container opening 10 , so that fluid or air exchange between the interior space and the exterior space of the container opening 10 is possible.

[0094] Furthermore, an adhesive layer may be provided on the back side of the label 20 , so that the label 20 can be attached to the container 30 by adhesive bonding, wherein the label 20 has an adhesive-free surface in the separation region 14 .

[0095] In other respects - whenever an RFID transponder, an RFID chip, an RFID antenna and / or a measuring circuit is mentioned in one of the embodiments of the present application - the transponder, the chip, the RFID antenna and / or the measuring circuit can also be printed onto the label or printed onto the label, more precisely optionally printed on the back side of the label (of a single-layer or multi-layer label with one or more films or film layers) or on the outer side of the label, or alternatively also printed on one of the multiple films of the label in order to be arranged inside the finished label.
